WordSift WordSift also allows users to see relationships among words. Want to help students understand difficult-to-define academic words such as analyze? Show students synonyms of this word from within WordSift, using the Visual Thesaurus®. The Visual Thesaurus® acts like a thesaurus-cum-dictionary with brilliant graphics. For word geeks and psycholinguists, this is a lot of intrinsic fun. But for teachers, it is a great way of talking about vocabulary -- not as boring lists of definitions to be memorized, but as a web of relationships with other words -- a veritable social network of words. Although we are not affiliated with this product, we really like the capabilities of the Visual Thesaurus® and have integrated some of them into WordSift, and certainly hope that we help their good business.
